Where is Zhuge Liang’s hometown?

Zhuge Liang (181-234), courtesy name Kongming and nickname Wolong, was a native of Langxieyangdu (now Yinannan, Shandong). He is a descendant of Zhuge Feng, the captain of Sili School in the Han Dynasty.

Zhuge Liang was born in an official's family in Langxieyangdu in the fourth year of Emperor Guanghe of the Han Dynasty (181). The Zhuge family is a prominent family in Langxie, and their ancestor Zhuge Feng once served as Sili Xiaowei (chief of the garrison of the capital) during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang's father, Zhuge Gui, whose courtesy name was Jungong, served as the magistrate of Taishan County in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang lost his father in his early years. Together with his younger brother Zhuge Jun, he followed his uncle Zhuge Xuan, who was appointed as the prefect of Yuzhang by Yuan Shu, to Yuzhang. The Eastern Han Dynasty court sent Zhu Hao to replace Zhuge Xuan, so Zhuge Xuan went to join his old friend Liu Biao, the pastor of Jingzhou.

In the second year of Jian'an (197), Zhuge Xuan died of illness. Zhuge Liang and his siblings lost their livelihood, so they moved to Longzhong (20 miles west of today's Xiangyang County, some say the place of seclusion is Nanyang?) and lived in seclusion in the countryside to farm and make ends meet. In the fourth year of Jian'an (199), 19-year-old Zhuge Liang and his friends Xu Shu and others studied under Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui.

Zhuge Liang's reading was different from that of most people at that time. He did not stick to one chapter or one sentence, but looked at its general outline. He also liked to recite the ancient ballad "Liang Fu Yin". Through intensive study, he was not only familiar with astronomy and geography, but also proficient in tactics and military tactics. He has great ambitions and takes the world as his own responsibility. , Zhuge Liang also paid great attention to observing and analyzing the society at that time, and accumulated rich knowledge on governing the country and using troops.

In the twelfth year of Jian'an (207), when Zhuge Liang was 27 years old, Liu Bei "visited the thatched cottage three times" in Longzhong, Xiangyang, met with Zhuge Liang, and asked about the plan to unify the world. Zhuge Liang analyzed the situation at the time incisively and put forward First, seize Jing and Yi as base areas, reform politics internally, unite with Sun Quan externally, pacify the Yiyue in the south, and reconcile with the Rong in the west. Waiting for the opportunity, send troops from both directions to the north, thus unifying the strategic thinking of the country. This conversation is the famous " "Longzhong Dui". [One says it’s Xiangyang Longzhong, another says it’s Nanyang. It’s hard to make a conclusion? ]

After listening to Zhuge Liang's incisive and thorough analysis, Liu Bei's thoughts suddenly became enlightened. He felt that Zhuge Liang's talent was rare, so he sincerely asked Zhuge Liang to come out and help him complete the great cause of reviving the Han Dynasty. Zhuge Liang then came out to assist Liu Bei, forming a tripartite force among the Three Kingdoms. ?

Zhuge Liang stepped in to assist Liu Bei in times of crisis and joined forces with Sun Yat-sen to fight against Cao Cao. Defeated Cao's army at Chibi and captured Jingzhou. In the 16th year of Jian'an, Yizhou was captured. Then he defeated Cao Jun and captured Hanzhong. In the twenty-sixth year, Liu Bei established the Shu Han regime in Chengdu, and Zhuge Liang was appointed prime minister to preside over the government. In the third year of Jianwu (223 years), Liu Bei was critically ill and asked him to take care of the future.

Liu Chan succeeded to the throne, and Zhuge Liang was named the Marquis of Wuxiang and led the pastoral care of Yizhou. Be diligent and prudent, handle all political affairs personally, strictly enforce rewards and punishments, alliance with Soochow, improve relations with all ethnic groups in the southwest, implement farming, and strengthen war preparations. In the fifth year of Jianxing (227 years), Shangshu (i.e., "Chu Shi Biao") was appointed by Liu Chan, and he led his army to station in Hanzhong. He made six northern expeditions to the Central Plains, mostly using food but without success. Twelve years later, he finally became ill due to overwork and died in the Wuzhangyuan Army.

Zhuge Liang was an outstanding statesman, thinker, and military strategist in the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. For thousands of years, Zhuge Liang has become the embodiment of wisdom, and his legendary stories have been recited by the world. Zhuge Liang's writings are included in the "Zhuge Family Collection Catalog" in the original biography of "Three Kingdoms", consisting of twenty-four chapters and one hundred and forty-four thousand one hundred and twelve words. Compiled by later generations, the "Collected Works of Marquis Zhuge Zhongwu" compiled by Zhang Shu of the Qing Dynasty is relatively complete. Zhuge Liang's main works in his life include: "The Master Before", "The Master After", "Longzhong Dui" (narrated by Chen Shou, one said it was Xiangyang Longzhong, others said it was Nanyang, it is difficult to say? Han Xue), etc. Due to the needs of combat, he studied deeply in astronomy, talismans, and Qimen Dunjia, and he talked a lot about it in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Zhuge Liang was skilled in strategy, resourceful and decisive, and was good at ingenuity. He once innovated the "continuous crossbow", which could fire 10 arrows at the same time; he also made "wooden ox" and "flowing horse" to facilitate military transportation in the mountains; he also practiced the art of war and made the "eight formations". picture".
